Sometimes a conflict in the updated files can prevent the game from properly identifying your CD-key. Usually, refreshing your CD-key will resolve the issue. Note that this will only correct the error if you used the same Windows account to install, patch, and troubleshoot the game. If you have switched Windows accounts at any point it is recommended you uninstall, reinstall, and repatch using the same Windows login.

Just go to the BF2 install folder then support and then there should be an .exe file to change the CD Key. Once you enter it you'll have to re-patch to 1.41
i fixed it by reinstalling it thanks yall
Wrong. I have done this before and it worked, and have just checked and its still the same!CrazeD wrote:

I tired the CD key thing at one point and that didnt seem to change anything.
Well the data in that registry key for me is a long ass encrypted string so, your game is whack.
You take that, delete it, enter your CD key. Worked for me.CrazeD wrote:
